budget bassist

true, a pub is generally a good place for a bash, a few people usually bring rigs anyway

The $$ neck is nothing like a jazz! Relatively thin at the nut, but quite a large profile, a bit clubby as people tend to say, personally i love it [quote name='Linus27' post='782883' date='Mar 22 2010, 10:46 PM']Oi stop it Oh and while you are being quiet, can you change your avatar, its killing me One last thing, I found out today that for an extra £91, I can get a Streamer $$ with an Ovangkol neck rather than the maple neck [/quote] Haha, got GAS? The maple neck is lovely by the way, doesn't really feel/sound much different but looks great! Mine has a particularly nice flame.

ooh that IS a good idea! not seen how big the rooms at magnet are though, they have some amazing backline though!

They're rather pretty

i think i paid it all in one go once i'd collected the money and i'd say no more than a fiver at the very most

EBMM forum member by any chance? i recognise your av, love the quilt top axis SS by the way

I've had two $$'s, one stingray HH and one musicman SUB single H, quite simply, i prefer the sound of the warwick, there's not really another way of saying it, either you like it or you don't. It's like a stingray but more aggress, but more versatile if you want it to be. It has more midrange too, i thought. Plus, i preferred the neck profile and the smaller body, more comfortable to me. Two very different basses though, i would advocate trying them both before coming to any conclusion.

definitely, or at least the $$ is, plays superbly, sounds amazing and very versatile, especially worth it if you buy used, they can easily be had for £150 less than your average used 'ray

[quote name='Clarky72' post='782084' date='Mar 21 2010, 08:41 PM']I've got a 3EQ Ray and its awesome, cant say enough good things about it, the only issue is the common ray issue with low volume on the G string. Thats easily fixed with a [b]Nordstrand[/b] replacement pup though.[/quote] fixed

warwick corvette $$, can't go wrong

Yeah was a good day, cheers to the guys that organised it, met some cool people and played some cool basses, and have now decided i want a fretless, thanks to the fretless steinberger i played! (can't remember who's that was)

[quote name='Geek99' post='781341' date='Mar 21 2010, 05:57 AM']I wasn't asking him to do it again (he did do a good job though)- 'any hints?' meant 'any advice on how to deal with the grosvenor, price the door etc'. I don't have lots of freetime (small baby, job with long hours etc look at my posting times), but all the current bashes appear to be miles away london, scotland etc And I thought it was time we had our own. If I did it it would be pretty spit and sawdust - I can make a few calls but that's about it.[/quote] Oh ok sorry, the grosvenor was £50 i think last time, worked out about £3 on the door covered it, also food is a bit dodgy as they won't let you bring your own and if you want it catering buffet style, they want an exact headcount and i think about £5 per head, so i didn't bother

now that's cool!!

i'll try and remember them tomorrow morning for you

[quote name='Geek99' post='781164' date='Mar 20 2010, 09:14 PM']Budget bassist organised the last one - any hints ?[/quote] Thought I'd let someone else do it this time

[quote name='Mikey R' post='781157' date='Mar 20 2010, 09:02 PM']Ok, is anyone planning on taking a set of allen keys with them? Ive got two sets burried somewhere in the house, and I probably wont find them till I move house again.[/quote] i can do if you'd like

Yeah, i'd come

i don't suppose anybody wants to have a blast on my ashdown ABM head?

[quote name='bartelby' post='777730' date='Mar 17 2010, 05:45 PM']Shame, because of what I did to it: [attachment=44964:aria.jpg] :blush: [/quote] oops Mine has to be my musicman SUB bass project which has been mutilated beyond belief and is currently still in bits... i should really get around to finishing it
